[Verse 1]

Can Mary fry some fish, Mama?

I'm as hungry as can be

Oh lordy, how I wish, Mama

You could keep the baby quiet cause my head's killing me


[Verse 2]

I seen my ex last night, Mama

At a dance at Miller's store

She was with that Jackie White, Mama

I killed 'em both, and they're buried under Jenkin's sycamore


[Chorus]

Don't you think I'm psycho, Mama?

You can pour me a cup

If you think I'm psycho, mama

Better let 'em lock me up


[Verse 3]

Don't hand the dog to me, Mama

I might squeeze him too tight

And I'm as nervous as can be, Mama

But let me tell you 'bout last night


[Verse 4]

I woke up in Johnny's room, Mama

Standing right by his bed

With my hands near his throat, Mama

Wishing both of us was dead


[Chorus]

You think I'm psycho, don't you, Mama?

I just killed Johnny's pup

You think I'm psycho, don't you, Mama?

You better let 'em lock me up


[Verse 5]

You know the little girl next door, Mama

I think her name is Betty Clark

Aw, don't tell me that she's dead, Mama

Why, I just seen her in the park


[Verse 6]

She was sittin' on a bench, Mama

Thinking up a game to play

Seems I was holding a wrench, Mama

Then my mind walked away


[Chorus]

You think I'm psycho, don't you, Mama?

Didn't mean to break your cup

You think I'm psycho, don't you, Mama?

Mama, Mama, why don't you get up?


[Outro]

Say something to me, Mama

Mama, why don't you get up?

Mama?
